Description
The Landscape Garden: the quiet but startling national revolution that overthrew the parterres, avenues and canals of formal European-style gardens littering Britain in the eighteenth century. Thousands of landscape gardens were created for the wealthy, often looking so natural that we hardly recognise them as the hand of man.??Steered by brilliant designers and visionary owners, the fashion for landscape gardens took hold across the country. Using water, grass and trees, designers softened lines and created seemingly natural planted park landscapes. Landscape gardens were on a huge scale, and all the work was done by hand. By the 1750s this had developed into the landscape park and garden epitomised by ëCapabilityà Brown, the most famous of the eighteenth-century garden designers. In this book by garden historian Sarah Rutherford, discover BritainÃs greatest contribution to the visual arts worldwide.??This book is part of the BritainÃs Heritage series, which provides definitive introductions to the riches of BritainÃs past, and is the perfect way to get acquainted with landscape gardens in all their variety.
